Wow! I can’t believe it is already the end of the semester. It is impossible for me to recite everything I have learned in this class but my biggest takeaway is how I view perspective now. To be more specific, the way we talk about history and how it is not one universal truth has really stuck with me. I have always been really stubborn and wondered “how do we know?” in a classroom or based on a textbook and it is sometimes difficult to get a productive answer. I feel like this discussion has allowed me to realize things don’t have to be right or wrong, left or right, and they can be a combination of anything and everything. There is comfort knowing that knowledge is so personal and dynamic, and that not everyone has to understand each others history. With that being said, I definitely am excited to continue learning and looking for new perspectives in all aspects of life, to continue asking why, and thinking of this class whenever I see a mermaid! So grateful for this class and everyone in it, cheers and good luck!
